West African nations will close their borders with Mali, sever diplomatic ties and impose tough economic sanctions in response to its “unacceptable” delay in holding elections following a 2020 military coup, the 15-state regional bloc said on Sunday.

Colonel Assimi Goita, leader of Malian military junta, attends the Economic Community of West African States consultative meeting in Accra, Ghana September 15, 2020.

In a communique issued after an emergency summit in the Ghanaian capital Accra, ECOWAS said it found the proposed timetable for a transition back to constitutional rule totally unacceptable. Meanwhile, regional monetary union UEMOA instructed all financial institutions under its umbrella to suspend Mali with immediate effect, severing the country’s access to regional financial markets.

The tougher response from ECOWAS reflects the pressure the organisation is under to show it can protect democracy from a backslide to military rule after West and Central Africa saw four coups within 18 months.

Ecowas means business

SADC will never do this. Nonsensical org

The west African regional body is exemplary and leading the continent. Definitely a stance the AU should be taking against other military governments and despots on the continent.

I knw some1 in SA who will welcome them here

SADC region is useless can't even tell Zanupf regime to stop killing citizens

Kwete zve SADC

pikaso screenshot this

Ecowas are serious bloc

Ruraltarain This is what we meant when we say we need regional support to deal with immigration crisis of Zimbos to South Africa. Regional support from SADC to Zimbos is urgently required. This can work extremely faster than PutSouthAfricanFirst

ClaysonMonyela why can't this be applied by SADC to Zim gvt. The level of human rights violations is too much. Why is SADC too soft to make tough decisions. The results of Zim humans rights violations is seen at Beitbridge boarder, champions, Lusaka and Gaborone

SADC should copy the same.

Hashtag shutdown-the border will work very fast and much better than putSouthAfrica first when it comes to zimbabwe.

And our own SADC learns nothing from this...South Africa is solely responsible for illegal migration of Zimbabwens

Better than SADC.

Who will suffer other than the poor as usual?

SADC doesn't have the cohones to do this against you know whom
